from Zhao, Y. (2006). Preparing citizens for the digital age: Curriculum and activity development for digital citizenship [PowerPoint]. East Lansing, MI.

!! -- for now, let's look at the first section "Definging Digital Citizenship" - as you share your thoughts on the discussion forums, compare and contrast the affordances of different frameworks - what works, what doesn't - consider how you might define each of the categories presented in the Zhao framework - !!

Defining Digital Citizenship
What is the digital world?
  • virtual
  • virtual connected to the physical
  • digital tools for the physical world
What is it like to live in the digital world?
  • Social
  • Economical
  • Political
  • Cultural
What skills and knowledge do we need to live in the digital world?
  • Live
  • Work
  • Lead

!! - okay, take a break here - the information after this is what we'll move to next - thoughts? why not use phphbb (our discussion forum tool) to share your ideas? - do you see these !! I use to show where I'm making meta-level commentary about the information on this page? - it's a convention taken from HTML, but I decided to use it to show where I'm adding 'teacher commentary' on a wikipage - should I change the font and color? does this clearly show that this section of text is somehow different? hmmm - !!
